TGIF! (神様ありがとう、今日は金曜日だ！)

みなさんこんにちは。今週の仕事はどうでしたか？週末が待ち遠しいですか？

今日は健康、ダイエット、運動に関連した2つの日常英会話の表現について学びましょう。

Couch potato ：怠け者や多くの時間をソファで過ごすのが好きな人のこと

 A: Morinosuke just watches TV and eats snacks all day!
（もりのすけは1日中ただお菓子をたべながらテレビを観ているよ！）

 B: He is a real couch potato, isn't he?
（彼は本当に怠け者だよね）

Fit as a Fiddle：Fiddleはバイオリンという意味ですが、「fit as a fiddle」でとても健康的で体調が良いことを表します。

 A: I had a health check up yesterday, the doctor said I’m as fit as a fiddle!
（昨日健康診断を受けたんです、お医者さんにとても健康だと言われました！）

 B: Good to hear that, Kaito. Your hard work at the gym is paying off.
（それは良かったね、カイトさん。ジムで一生懸命頑張ったかいがありますね）

みなさんも健康にお過ごし下さい。

ありがとう

ヘンリー

TGIF! (Thank God It’s Friday!)

Hello everyone, how was the week at work? Are you looking forward to the weekend?

For  our everyday English, let’s learn or review two health/diet/exercise related expressions:

Couch potato  A lazy person or someone who likes to spend a lot of time sitting on a couch.

  A:  Morinosuke just watches TV and eats snacks all day!

  B: He is a real couch potato, isn't he?

Fit as a Fiddle   A fiddle is another word for a violin. If you’re “fit as a fiddle”, you’re in very good   health and in good shape.

  A: I had a health check up yesterday, the doctor said I’m as fit as a fiddle!

  B: Good to hear that, Kaito. Your hard work at the gym is paying off.

 Stay in shape everyone.

Cheers,

Henry
